The door opened & closed as the oldest Elric stepped into the house, greeted by a cup of coffee by no other but the Colonel Bastard, the love of his life. He smiled, taking it "Thanks" He said, sitting on the couch "So, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Ed, there's no way you're going into the kitchen again"
"Why the hell not?"
"Because you can't cook"
& now, you can't breathe
"I cook better than you! Colonel Bastard"
A chuckle "Oh really? What would you be willing to give to beat me in cooking?"
"Nothing! I'm already better than you!" A laugh
I miss your laughs...
"You wish, Full Metal"
Laugh for me, please
A smile "I don't wish, I know!"
"Oh really? How much do you know?"
"I know so much I'd give up my life if I was wrong, which I'm not!"
I never knew, you'd really mean it...
"Ed! What the hell are you doing!" A fist slammed against the kitchen door
"Roy! The stove, it's on fire!"
It should have been me...
"Ed, I'll get you out of there!"
Only if I'd got the door open quicker...
"Roy! The taps not working, I can't put it o-" Thump
"Ed!" Fist, slam, fist, slam "Edward!"
Shouting, screaming, flames, smoke
Only if I could've saved you...
Thump. The door, was now on the floor.
"Ed!"
A limp body, stuck in flames, lungs filled with Ash, patches of skin burnt.
A raven picking up the golden duckling in an attempt to save it, when it was already gone
...It was all my fault
The line went flat, the chest stopped moving
All of this happened on Christmas Eve...
The raven cried, secretly inside.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
No matter how angry they get, they can't do anything about it.
It should've been me.
End
It's 2am, almost 3am, so...Happy Christmas Eve!
I tried to answer to riddle, my what a fail it was.
I always get emotional when I'm tired, I'll cry over anything, no kidding.
R&R!
